It's Christmas!

So many things have changed except I still am so busy. However, today I felt compelled to give an update. As we celebrate Jesus' birth, I am giving thanks for life and all that life brings, good and bad. They both help to shape my life and to put things in the right perspective. I am grateful to God for sparing our lives and for keeping me in my sound mind. I enjoyed early morning prayer meeting with my church folks. It was a blessing and I am happy I went as it was so very encouraging. I am still loving my hair. I measured some strands yesterday and the length varies of course from 17 to 21 inches! That's pretty long and that's how I like it. :) People still ask if I plan to cut it and my answer is still no! I would not spend so much money on my hair to cut it at this time. I actually do enjoy long hair. When my hair was processed it has never grown beyond this length and I know it will surpass this for sure being locked now. I am coming from two inches of TWA to 7 inches of locked hair approximately four (4) years ago to an average of 19 inches or so. I have no motivation whatsoever to cut anything. The only cosmetic change I've experimented and would do again is to dye my hair black. Again, that is one of the famous questions..."are you going to colour your hair"? "Why don't you bleach the ends?". I am not fond of bleaching. I used to bleach my processed hair or strands called streaking. However, bleaching is not good on the skin or hair. It will lead to breakage, even of locks and I cannot imagine losing locks. Besides almost everybody with locks, have bleached ends or the entire head. I don't want to look the same. The only reason why I want to chose black is because locks have a tendency to get brown and I prefer jet black look. But I've only done it once. Styling I still hardly style. Though when I do it is excellent! But I simply cannot manage any hinderances in my head when it's time to sleep. I cannot sleep with braids, twists or any kind of bumps in my hair. I actually do sleep with my head free. I don't even wrap it (which may be bad) but this hairstyle is one of freedom which I fully embrace. This is the most versatile hair decision I've ever made in my life and I can't see myself changing anytime soon. Nothing is cast in stone however, at this time...I'm quite satisfied. :)
